The SHIVVERS -(lost hits...) enhanced CD (Teenline #201a)

Simply put, the Shivvers may be the best female-fronted powerpop band the world has seen. It’s just that the world wasn’t exactly looking their way back in 1980... They had chops, talent, originality, looks— and if they’d been based in New York or L.A. the Shivvers would either have changed the course of music in the ’80s, or they’d have gloriously crashed and burned in a world-class blaze of hype. As it is, well, their lone, self-produced 45 sells for $300+ on eBay... The Shivvers were always, foremost, a performing band —and before you start thinking Bangles or Go-Gos or Holly or Nikki, the Shivvers were more like a female-fronted Raspberries or early Badfinger than anything their new wave-era contemporaries were up to...

“A tour de force of pop hooks and the pouty, aching vocals of Jill Kossoris.” —Magnet
